Youth is filled with purposes and ambition. In my younger years, I didn’t really quite get what I wanted to do with my life. For awhile, I was a wanderlust searching for meanings, but got trapped in series of meaningless events. At times, I even doubted if all I did was wasting so much time. But then blogging came along, then Youtube, and now, from a nobody, I am known by some. I am blessed to have a good background to grow from, but I am more proud of the fact that I have worked my pretty ass off for the things that I acquired so far and gone through all the ups and downs with them. Everyday, I allow myself new opportunities to learn and grow, to further my vision and mature my thoughts, and it’s fulfilling. Looking at the bright side, I have loving people around to give me generous support! Everything in my life happened like destiny. Bad people came to teach me lessons, and good people stayed to remind me of quality of life. Looking back, I didn’t waste anything. Everything happened in order for me to be who I am today, thinking the way I’m thinking, living the way I’m living. Although there is always room for improvements, overall, I am genuinely happy and content; not because of the material things I have, but because my soul feels free.

So my advice is, make as many mistakes as you please in order to grow. Just don’t make the same mistake twice. Youth is allowing yourself to reach out and grab opportunities, to fail and try again, to define who you are, be who you want to be, dream and make dreams happen! As long as you don’t sacrifice other people’s happiness for it. A life full of experiences will help you focus on your strengths and learn to love yourself regardlessly. If anyone is standing in your way, just gently pass them by and head forward. If you can’t even get your life in control, then who else can?
